The choice of color when creating a manicure is very important. Now saturated colors are firmly in fashion. One of the most popular is burgundy and its shades. But in order to create a harmonious image, you need to know the rules for combining design with tones, as well as all possible options for combining them.
Value
Burgundy color is not independent. It is produced by mixing red and brown shades. Accordingly, it is quite harmoniously combined with them.
This shade is perfect for energetic, purposeful, businesslike and restrained people. We can say that color cultivates these qualities, however, it is not recommended to use it when creating an image in large volumes. It can negatively affect the emotional state, keeping its owner in constant tone. For this reason, a great option for its use is a manicure. A small burgundy detail on the hands creates the necessary surroundings, but does not overload the bow.
This color is great for people with dark or just tanned skin. There is great potential for combining its various shades and creating multi-faceted compositions. For fair-skinned fashionistas, it is also suitable, but in combination with lighter colors. This will help to dilute the overall impression of a rich tone.
In addition, we note that in the age category there are no direct contraindications for burgundy.
However, this color in its pure form is associated with solidity, which is not characteristic of young girls. Appearing in the image of such a manicure with an unsuccessful combination with a bow can age.
Shades
Burgundy color is derived from a large number of tones.
The main ones for creating a manicure are:
- Bordeaux;

The combination of brown and burgundy allows you to get the color of Marsala. This shade is quite universal, and is combined with any color. That is why the fashion for him goes from season to season.
When performing a manicure in a similar tone, the length of the nails is not significant. Therefore, there are many design options in which to use it. Nail art masters offer to use trend directions, adding a small “zest” that would highlight and emphasize the owner’s personality. To solve such a problem, a combination of several styles, for example, a jacket with a moon and flower decoration, is perfect. Combinations using more than two directions are much more likely to be unique.

Creation nuances
When making a manicure in burgundy shades, it is necessary to carefully treat the surface of the nail plate to completely eliminate even minor flaws. The coating of such a tone is called complex precisely because the slightest irregularities on it are immediately visible. For this reason, manicure specialists consider it possible to use only gel polish. He assumes both high-quality processing of a surface by polishing, and drawing the leveling gel basis. With its help, you can correct the small irregularities of the plate.
An important detail is the removal of the cuticle, which must be done carefully. Even a small bezel at the base of the nail will be evident at the junction of such a bright shade.
The steps involved in pretreatment include:
- removing the old coating;
- shaping the plate;
- cuticle removal;
- working surface polishing.
You also need to remember that the color lacquer, especially bright colors, caught on the skin around the nail, manicure does not decorate. To prevent these problems, it is better to smear the skin around the nail area with a cream before starting the coating. In this case, even if the decor goes beyond the boundaries of the working surface, it can be easily removed with a cotton pad.
To create a decor in burgundy colors there is a small life hack. If this shade is the main, then a transparent gel base can not be applied. It is better to use colored varnish in several layers. So the color will become more saturated. It is important to carefully dry each subsequent layer under the lamp. After applying the base, the final decor and drying, it is necessary to use a finishing strengthening coating. This is done for a longer operation of the manicure and create additional shine.
